Fyodor would believe that his uncle was still the same military commander who was ignorant of politics and power tactics, and that he was being used as a gun by the nobles in the matter of the infected people.
The emperor doesn't mind someone being used as a gun, even if it's against himself. As long as the person is willing to apologize and compensate, the emperor will kindly allow him to be a gun under his command - because stupid people are easier to use.
In this way, the political structure of Ursus will be completely stabilized. The emperor will shift his favoritism from the civil service group to the military, and the civil service group will think that the military will cooperate with them. The nobles will also feel that the military is still an object that can be won over.
In addition, the Ministry of Justice where Oleg is located, and the Ministry of Labor where Yegor is located, will also take this opportunity to enter the emperor's vision - because they do not belong to any faction, to be honest, they are all Vladimir's remnants.
Fyodor will soon realize that as long as he makes a slight gesture, he will be able to legitimately obtain this hidden force, which is the power on which he can rely to form his base.
Yegor put his life and death aside, and Oleg and his whole family devoted themselves to it. There was no distinction between high and low in their behavior, because they were undoubtedly nobler than everyone present.
And most importantly—they obeyed Qiao Yelan's orders and did their best.
Those who are loyal should get the rewards they deserve.
Qiao Yelan closed his eyes.
Ursus has returned to his own chess game again.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
"Why did you change your face?"
"Of course it's for the sake of secrecy. Except for when I appear as the Grand Duke, I will use a fixed body. I have replaced the spare bodies hidden in other places."
Kosice got into Qiao Yelan's car and explained in a bad mood.
“Good taste.”
"Of course—I picked them all out."
Qiao Yelan shook his head.
"Nicholas has not had a good time recently. He looks anxious every day, but no one comes to assassinate him. What have you been doing during this time?"
"Establishing a Babel base - I mean, Babel's office in Ursus."
During this period, Qiao Yelan kept a low profile, but he was not idle. While he resumed business at the Tower of Babel, he tried to contact the emerging capital aristocrats under the guise of Witt.
It turns out that the nobles are willing to accept anyone who can bring them profits.
The man took out a new folder, paper and pen, then turned to look at Kosice.
"Nicholas said it was over?"
"Yes, he asked me to tell you that he has reached a deal with the nobles on the issue of disarmament. The nobles are basically willing to accept this kind of word game. And Anatoly is also working on rebuilding the Sixth Army, which is going smoothly."
"Also, the first battle in the south has ended. You are right. The Heidenschweier region is really a soft persimmon now. They have already captured an earldom, and the nobles have also sent envoys to negotiate. It's just that they are a little dissatisfied with the price now, so they are planning to carry out further war oppression."
Qiao Yelan recorded them all.
It’s not that those nobles can’t offer more, but if they do, their ambition to compete for the position of Elector will be delayed - so they still need to be persuaded.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go back to Leitania and help mediate in the Heidenschweil region."
He spoke casually as he wrote.
"——Wait a minute, what do you want the Heidenschweil region to do?"
"Mediation."
"Do you have the face to do this?"
"Why not? Babel was the tax farmer for His Majesty the Witch King."
"...But weren't you the one who asked Nikolai to attack them?"
"Yes, so I can maximize the benefits by mediating - I mean Nicholas and the Twin Queens."
The corner of Black Snake's eye twitched.
We can only pray that the nobles in the Heidenschwil region will still have enough pants to wear in the future.
"I have a question."
"Just ask."
"Why do you do all these things?"
Kosice finally asked the question.
"All my efforts are to take down Longmen, and all of Nicholas' efforts are to revive the Ursus Empire - but you, what are you doing it for?"
"In your plan, we shouldn't even be considered supporting roles, right? Even Ursus may only be a part of your plan, as we can see from the time of Vladimir - so why are you doing all this?"
Qiao Yelan put down the pen in his hand and looked directly at Kosice.
"Well...if I said it was to save the world, would you believe me?"
"If someone else said it, I certainly wouldn't believe it - but if you said it, I would seriously consider it."
Kosice nodded very seriously.
Qiao Yelan thought about it and felt that Kosice was a very interesting person. Although her political struggle was mediocre and she had almost no economic talent, at least she was quite stubborn when doing what she believed in.
Maybe I could tell her something.
"Our world has always been under the shadow of destruction - and there is even more than one threat."
"I do believe this. For example, the evil demons in the north, no one knows where they came from, and no one knows how they reproduce and grow. If the imperial guards had not been fighting in the north all along, and the evil demons had no intention of moving south, I would not be surprised to say that they could destroy the world."
Black Snake agreed with what Qiao Yelan said.
"Yes, and my goal is to resolve these threats and ensure the survival of the Terra continent."
"Evil?"
"The devil is just one of them, and we are steadily advancing our understanding of the devil. In addition to Ursus, we have a scientific research station in Sami, a support team in Dayan, and now we also have an observation station in Leitania."
Qiao Yelan revealed part of the Tower of Babel to Koschei.
"In addition to the evil demons in the north, there are also the monsters in the hot land of the south wind burning wind - of course, this part has been solved fortunately."
Kosice will certainly not forget this name, the land of burning winds and hot weather.
Thousands of years ago, two of the most powerful emperors in history, with their most terrifying armies, joined hands to fight their way into the land from which no one has ever returned.
One is Emperor Sargon, who rose from Sargon, ruled half of the continent, founded the Terran monarchy, and was honored as the King of Kings.
One of them was the one who once launched a great expedition, from the Hippogriff Empire in the north to Sargon in the south, and crushed the nightmare Khan of all the countries along the way.
Of course, Koschei knew the latter better - because it was through the Great Crusade that the founding emperor of the Ursus Empire was able to launch an uprising and overthrow the Hippodrome Empire.
It can be said that this nightmare expedition officially laid the foundation for the current structure of the Western world - a structure that was not broken again until the Battle of the Four Emperors forty-seven years ago.
"You mean, Harandu Khan and the King of Kings, they went on an expedition to the Burning Winds and solved a threat that could have destroyed Terra?"
"exactly."
Qiao Yelan nodded.
Of course he was not the one who did that. After all, Nightmare Khan looked down on a powerless person. Therefore, the people who went there openly were Mon3tr and its nurse - no, it was Kal'tsit and her summons.
"This is really... Is there anything else?"
"Yes, for example, the most common one - Originium."
"Originium?"
Kosice expressed doubts.
"Yes, Originium - long before the era, people discovered that Originium can strengthen spells, and this strengthening power comes from the Originium itself, but it can easily infect the human body."
"Then a most basic and most easily overlooked question arises: Is the worsening of Originium disease caused by the human body slowly enriching the Originium components in the air, or -"
"——The human body is being transformed into Originium?"
Black Snake's breathing suddenly paused for a second.
"The answer is very regrettable. Enrichment is only part of the reason for the deterioration, or even a small part. The more important factor is that Originium can indeed transform the human body into Originium. In other words, Originium is the only mineral that continues to grow as its scope of use expands."
Qiao Yelan sighed softly.
"With the development of the Originium industry and the need for Originium mining in modern times, the number of people infected with Originium disease is growing rapidly. Currently, most countries are indifferent and excluding the infected, but one day, this situation will reach a critical value."
"You should have heard in Longmen that Babel Tower has the best Originium disease treatment technology in the world and the most effective special medicine - but even so, we can only temporarily curb the deterioration of Originium disease, rather than completely cure it."
"But even so, Originium disease, no, Originium shouldn't be a threat, right? It's just a mineral. As long as we take measures, even extreme measures like what Anatoly did before, it can always be controlled."
She quickly thought of the law. Sometimes, using coercive measures is not only bad.
"Your method is limited to one premise, that is, Originium is just a kind of ore. But have you ever seen that kind of ore be transmitted to the human body, or even use the human body to slowly grow stronger?"
The man shook his head.
"What do you think Originium is more like, with this kind of existence and performance?"
"Like some kind of virus? Or a parasite?"
"Yes - then what do you think is the biggest difference between viruses and parasites and minerals?"
"The biggest difference? Isn't the difference that they are alive, while the ore is dead--!!!!!!"
Qiao Yelan nodded slightly.
"Just as you thought - Originium is also alive."
Silence enveloped the not very spacious carriage. Kosice said nothing, but it was the first time that she broke into a cold sweat just by listening to other people talking.
"If it's just like a virus or a parasite, following only the instinct of survival and growth, it's not bad. But if it's like a bee colony, with a main consciousness - then the terrifying ability of Originium to spread and multiply, I don't think I need to explain its threat, right?"
"...If that's the case, then why don't you try to unify the entire continent? Build a super empire, and then devote the whole country's strength to resisting and researching threats?"
Kosice asked this question after a long silence.
"Vladimir - with your assistance, I should be able to accomplish this."
"It's a nice idea, but unfortunately, Terra doesn't have only one race. The birth of a superpower empire will only lead to technological stagnation and intensified internal friction, and will eventually collapse under the uprising of various races within it."
Qiao Yelan shook his head.
Black Snake opened her mouth and wanted to refute the other party. After all, the other party had never done such a thing before, so how could he draw such a conclusion with such certainty?
However, just as the sound was about to burst out of his throat, it suddenly stopped.
She remembered something.
It seems that the Terra continent once had a super empire that unified the continent - the Tikaz Empire.
The ultimate destruction of this empire was exactly the same as what Qiao Yelan said. Even the main ethnic group of this country was despised by other races and regarded as demons from then on.
The capital of this empire remains in ruins even today.
Its name is——
Kazdale.

I have read everyone's suggestions, thank you all - but I'm sorry, the first half of the story still has to be written by me, because this is the timeline of twenty years ago, and all the foreshadowing must be laid at this time.

(TMD, why do I feel like I’m getting worse the more I write)
In addition, the problem of groups is also a common occurrence. I still firmly refuse to create a group because I cannot solve the management problems after creating a group - just like the first thing to consider when having a child is responsibility, not whether to wear a condom tonight.
The composition of the audience of this book means that the group is destined to be dominated by pro-political sentiments. In addition to dangerous topics, another reason is that people with different political views cannot coexist - because there is no political compromise or exchange of interests when chatting on the Internet.
The political spectrum is a circle, so everyone on this circle will be hostile to those standing next to them - they are too right (left).
Chapter 62: Evil Spirits Do Not Lie
As for why she remembered it so clearly——
Because the destruction of Tikaz was closely related to these giant beasts.
The horned Tikaz were swept into the ranks of demons, and the Terrans called them by a new name:
